I have now, and kinda? About 100mbps better, but still nowhere near gigabit

Update: I tested at the ONT - speeds are marginally better (about 100mbps more) but still nowhere near gigabit.

Update: I did this. I got marginally better speeds at the ONT (350-450mbps) but still not close to gigabit.

At least when the ISP router arrives I can point the finger back at them.

Noob question: is connecting a PC to the ONT safe? Or am I exposing my PC to the internet without a router in between?

Telus ONT straight to the Archer, I took the telus router out of the equation years ago because it sucked.

Good to know about the performance of the C7.

The part about the 2 year term and $30 more is because I upgraded from one of their lowest packages to gigabit, which was about $30/mo more and required a 2 year term if I didn't want a terabyte download limit.

Nope, the telus router is sitting in a box at the post office because when I moved, they requested I sent it back. Idk why, luckily I had my own router!

Not using wifi, I know wifi speeds are slower. This is on wired.

I will try testing at the ont though

I didn't realize it might be the specific router. I remember buying it after reading rave reviews on Reddit lol. I will try out the ISP router at the very least when it comes.
